Doctor Erwin is a sad faced
green frog who has not yet been
kissed. Dr. Aurand is really a
monkey and Mr. Campbell is
equipped as GI Jo on the
ground. Dr. Price descends from
the sky as spiderman. Dr. Er~
win, Dr. Aurand, Mr. Campbell
and Dr. Price are among an
assortment of 12 members of the
faculty and staff portrayed ac
cording to their animalistic
natures on Mr. Shaeval’s top
shelf. Collectively, the figures on
that shelf have been named the
“Faculty Zoo.”
The Faculty Zoo, a creation of
Mr. Shaevel’s has been ex
panding ever since its opening
during the spring term of 1978,
when Big Bird (Dr. David) was
the sole attraction. According to
Mr. Shaevel the likeness bet
ween the Director of Highacres
and Big Bird was apparent since
both are “leaders of their
flocks.” As a joke (and after
repairing Big Bird’s broken
neck), Mr. Shaevel pinned Doc
tor David’s name on Big Bird
and wired him to his present
position on the top shelf in C
-110.

After Big Bird, Mr. Shaevel
began to draw resemblences bet
ween other faculty members and
animal figures he saw in various
shops around town, adding more
and more to his collection. As
faculty response increased, Mr.
Shaevel would buy an animal
figure and accept nominations
from faculty for the appropriate
name.
The faculty’s present choice of
names has been interesting. Mr.

will not assume a passive
relationship in student govern

Traditionally only faculty and
staff members have nominated
their peers into the faculty zoo.
However, students are also
eligible to nominate their choice.

tractions in need of an identity:
a kitten, a throughbred and a
photo of a wild duck which
belongs to Dr. Staudenmeier.
A strong element of interest
exist in the nominations for the
duck since the duck passed as a
male until it laid eggs.
Nominations can be submitted
to Mr. Shaevel's office C-110

faculty/staff person feels he has
an appropriate name for an un
titled zoo attraction. The only
stipulation are that the nominee
be on the campus faculty or staff
and that Mr. Shaevel reserves
the right to reject any
nomination he feels is inap

students on campus and getting
their responses and suggestions
on various issues. He stated, “If
I receive any suggestions or
comments that I believe to be
beneficial, I will bring them to
the attention of the SGA." Paul
